Fundraising Concert

7:30 pmGreyfriars Community Centre, Ringwood

Join artist & composer Richard Mclester performing afreeconcert of Songs of The Light live in Greyfriars Community Centre, Ringwood. The performance of pop and choral music will be accompanied by spectacular film projections to create an immersive experience for you to enjoy!

The concert is part of a series of preview events giving people a taste of the performance coming toSalisbury Cathedralthis December.

“This project is about giving people as many opportunities as we can,”says Richard “Everything that you will see on the night has been created entirely by volunteers and students who have given their time to create something special. The performance also acts as a platform for the public to share their real stories with others. These stories, along with the music and film will come together to create a journey for the audience; from darkness to light. We want to create an experience that we can all relate to, that means something to us all. Everyone's put a ton of hard work in and we're all very excited to bring it to audiences in Ringwood.”

The performance has been created by lead artist Richard and a whole host of volunteers and students as part of a larger community orientated project called The Light.

The concert is entirely free. You can reserve tickets on our website: https://thelight2018.com or just turn up and enjoy the show.

HIDDEN

Two cultures collide and form an unlikely alliance to challenge hatred and fear. Based on the book by Miriam Halahmy

Hidden is set on a beach in Hayling Island one cold February day. It’s the story of Alix, a white British 14-year-old girl, and Samir, a young Iraqi refugee.

After school one day she sees a small crowd from their school bullying and taunting her classmate Samir with racist abuse.

‘Paki, Taliban, terrorist’ they shout at the young Iraqi refugee. ‘Leave him alone. Pick on someone your own size!’, where does that voice come from? Why does she feel the need to defend this boy she has never spoken to before?

We watch their friendship grow as they encounter a stranger in the sea and are faced with making some tough decisions between what’s morally right and the rule of law.
